Recently, the author's field research in rural areas has uncovered a common issue: many peanut farms are struggling with fruit that fails to be properly buried in the soil, preventing it from forming proper crops. With more than fifty days left until the end of October, it's crucial to take immediate action to ensure that the fruiting needles are covered in time, which can significantly boost yield. The first step is to use earthworms to gather the topsoil from both sides of the peanut plants and bring it toward the stem. However, care must be taken not to get too close to the roots, as this could damage the plant. Some peanut varieties grow more upright, causing their fruiting needles to stay far from the ground. In such cases, using a small shovel to gently push the needles into the soil can help improve coverage. After ensuring the fruit is properly buried, it's important to provide additional nutrients to support growth. One of the most effective methods is foliar spraying. Apply a mixture of urea (10 grams per sprayer), high-quality potassium dihydrogen phosphate (40 grams), and a 1% superphosphate solution (10 ml) every 7 to 8 days. Each acre should receive three sprays. This method allows the plants to absorb nutrients quickly through their leaves, promoting stronger development and higher productivity. By combining these practices—ensuring proper burial of fruiting needles and timely nutrient application—farmers can significantly improve their peanut yields. It's a simple yet effective approach that can make a big difference during the critical harvest period. Don't wait until it's too late; start implementing these techniques now for the best results.

Peanut can increase soil production
Pediococcus pentosaceus are Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile and non-spore-forming, members of the industrially important lactic acid bacteria. Like other lactic acid bacteria, P. pentosaceus are acid tolerant, cannot synthesize porphyrins, and possess a strictly fermentative metabolism with lactic acid as the major metabolic end product (Axelsson, 1998; Garvie, 1986). Phylogenetically Pediococcus and Lactobacillus form a super-cluster that can be divided in to two sub-clusters, all species of Pediococcus fall within the Lactobacillus Casei – Pediococcus sub-cluster. Morphologically, pediococci (cocci; 0.6-1.0 mm in diameter) and lactobacilli (rods) are distinct. The formation of tetrads via cell division in two perpendicular directions in a single plane is a distinctive characteristic of pediococci. Pediococcus can be described as “the only acidophilic, homofermentative, lactic acid bacteria that divide alternatively in two perpendicular directions to form tetrads” (Simpson and Taguchi, 1995). Lactic acid is produced from hexose sugars via the Embden-Meyerhof pathway and from pentoses by the 6-phosphogluconate/phosphoketolase pathway (Axelsson, 1998). P. pentosaceus grow at 40 but not 50oC, between pH 4.5 an 8.0, in 9-10% NaCl, hydrolyzes arginine, can utilize maltose and some strains produce a “pseudo-catalase”.
